Game Of Thrones Croatia Tour

DAY 1. Šibenik (The New Throne), Krka National Park With Stops in Braavos (Kaštela)

After breakfast minivan/car transfer to Šibenik. Our first stop will be Kaštela which means castles in Croatian and this part of the Dalmatian coast is rife with them. Located between Split and Trogir, the "town" of Kaštela is actually composed of seven coastal villages built around 15th and 16th-century castles. At the time, upper-crust families in Split felt greatly threatened by the march of the Ottoman Turks into Europe.

One by one, they filed into Kastela Bay and built fortified mansions. Because of it, Kaštela serves perfectly as a set for the mystery region of Doreenthe Mighty.

We welcome you to the New Throne, so to say, the City of Šibenik, whose fortified walls and ancient architecture are yet to be seen in the fifth season of the Game of Thrones. Šibenik is known as The King’s City, for it was the court of Croatian King Krešimir the 4th in the 11th century, and now you’ll witness it fusing with the world of the Game of Thrones.

Move away from the city and return to nature, as we welcome you to Krka National Park, the backdrop to numerous nature scenes in the show’s fourth season. It is a breathtaking place, and its cascading waterfalls will leave you mesmerized and refreshed, as you swoon into the greens of its flora and the blues of its crystal-clear water.

We’ll finish the day with a dinner in a beautiful, picturesque agro-tourism state where you’ll enjoy both the ambient as well as a delicious 3-course homemade meal.

DAY 2. Hvar, Pakleni, Vis, Blue and Green Cave

After breakfast, we will transfer you to the speedboat where we can start our semi-private 5 islands tour.

Meet the sunniest place in Europe, the lovely Island of Hvar, a favorite destination to those who know how to travel well, and a perfect backdrop to A Game of Thrones. A peaceful retreat or perhaps Slaver’s Bay? The island’s capital is an ancient town of the same name, rich with history and a thriving art scene.

Hell’s Islands or ‘Paklenjaci’ is a group of small picturesque islands just outside of Hvar, and a destination easily reachable by speed boat. Many have found peace and seclusion on Hell’s Islands, as they are home to charming taverns and small family hotels. Time moves slowly here.

Moving on with your nautical journey, you will arrive on the Island of Vis – raw, isolated from the mainland, charismatic, and beautiful. Your tour of Vis wouldn’t be complete without visiting a tiny nearby island called Biševo. With an official population of fifteen souls, the limestone Island of Biševo is the home of the Blue Cave, one of the most magical places in the Mediterranean.

Located in the Balun Bay, the Blue Cave was initially described and painted by Baron Eugen von Ransonet, and until the mid-18th century, was accessible only by diving. Illuminated by both the Sun and the Moon, the inside of the cave glows with an incredible aquamarine light.

DAY 3. Radmanove Mlinice, Blue & Red lakes in Imotski, Ston, Dubrovnik

After breakfast, we travel to the beautiful Radmanove Mlinice situated at the river Cetina, and then we will proceed to Imotski, whose ancient stone architecture is a new home to the Game of Thrones. On the northwest outskirts of town, you’ll travel to a place where fantasy does indeed meet reality, as you’re introduced to the natural wonders of the Red and Blue Lake. Red, like the blood of the fallen, and Blue, like the royal attire of Daenerys, both deeper than you can imagine.

Imotski is an area where there is a large number of stećci. Stećci is under UNESCO protection. Most of them (stećci) you can find along paths or along the old Roman roads that ran from Salona (Solin) to Narona (Vid kod Metkovića). Tombstones (stećci) are blocks that are placed in a specific order. These clumsily and somewhat harshly treated monument have found their place in the history of the Imotski region and witnessed literacy, culture, faith, and power in this region.

Imotski tombstones have their own characteristics that distinguish them from other groups such as neighboring Cetina or Herzegovinian.

On our way, we will also stop to see some of the other filming locations such as Baško polje, a beautiful scenery underneath the mountain Biokovo, and its million-dollar view of Dalmatian islands, a place where Daenerys also found her rest and comfort.

In Imotski we will also visit a winery and treat ourselves to a wine tasting.

On our way to Dubrovnik, we will visit the Great Wall of Croatia - Ston. Not only famous for its great walls but also well known for the oyster which we will definitely try out.

DAY 4. Dubrovnik – King’s Landing

After breakfast, you will walk through the palace gardens of King’s Landing, where gossip and intrigue foreshadowed battles, a place known in our world as Arboretum Trsteno. This luscious combination of green plant life and superb architecture of yesteryear tells tails of royalty and is the oldest arboretum in this part of Europe.

Welcome to the legendary City of Dubrovnik. For most of its history, a republic of its own and a beacon of diplomacy, Dubrovnik’s independent spirit is as strong as ever. You already know this city, for this is King’s Landing, a host to the revelries of Robert Baratheon, the excess lifestyle of Prince Joffrey, and the cunning wit of Tyrion Lannister.

Walk onto Red Keep, here known as Lovrijenac Fortress. Follow the trails of Arya Stark, and see where Danaerys, the Queen of Dragons, gave freedom to her fire-breathing flying creatures.

Only a few hundred meters off the coast lies the green and lush island of Lokrum, which is only 10 minutes by boat from the old port. The fortress is on the highest point of the island with an amazing view over the protected national park. In the series, Lokrum was turned into Qarth, the 'Queen of Cities' on the continent of Essos, and the setting for much of Daenerys' story in season two.

DAY 5. Split (Meereen), Klis Fortress, Žrnovnica Mill, and Quarry

Breakfast and free time till 16:30 when the tour starts.

Follow the path of Daenerys as she seeks to conquer Slaver’s Bay and free the slaves of Meereen. The 1700-year-old Mediterranean metropolis of Split transforms into Meereen, as you start the final chapter of your tour at Diocletian’s Palace, its ancient basements and narrow streets, where freed slaves sought revenge upon their masters.

Walk the path to the top of Klis Fortress, as it transforms into the Meereen throne, where Daenerys set the slaves free and crucified their wicked owners.

Travel to the suburbs, to the town’s quarry, where the Unsullied battled for Daenerys. Then we will continue to the town of Žrnovnica, whose green mill was used for Missandei’s bathing scene – the perfect spot to have a finishing dinner.
